Surface Engineers (Manchester) was formed over forty years ago at its original location in Dukinfield on the outskirts of Manchester. It quickly established itself as a leading specialist in thermally sprayed coatings.

Originally set up as a service to heavy industry offering services including thermally sprayed coatings not just for anti-corrosion but also for reclamation of worn parts for the steel mills. Large rolls measuring up to 48 inches diameter would be turned down in large capacity lathes and the resultant substrate would be built up with materials such as copper, chrome Nickel, Tin and Stainless Steel using Gas or Arc sprayed wires and powders which provided a cost effective and speedy alternative to the scrapping of these reclaimable assets.

With the demise of the steel mills and heavy industry in the UK, Surface Engineers turned its expertise primarily to the application of Anti Corrosive coatings for the nuclear and oil and gas sectors and now offers an extensive portfolio of various coating applications which are described in more detail here.

SE has seen many improvements over recent years and has just undergone an exciting expansion program at its new location. This has been made possible by the acquisition of Surface Engineers Staff, Equipment and Intellectual Property by Stainless Restoration Ltd. resulting in SE now operating as a division of Stainless Restoration Ltd. in Hyde, Manchester
